MythBusters: The Search

I agree with another posted review, these people are trying too hard, the fake enthusiasm, trying to mimic the old cast is just hard to stomach. Rewatching the same old myths is boring and judging them like Survivor with your vote, voting them off for some silly judgmental reason just doesn't cut it.

Find someone who is reluctant to be in front of the camera, experience in the special effects business and a sidekick wing man with some TV experience, like the old cast and just go with it, instead of this faux talent show.

What was it that SpencerTracy said to a young actor when he asked him what he did, the guy replied I'm an actor ", Tracy said "Well, don't let anyone catch you at it".

That's the problem here. You catch them constantly acting.

I'm a fan of the original, however this is a Reality Elimination Show and isn't my thing. Would've worked better without the host and just the Narrator keeping the viewer up to speed.

Contestants compete with each other as they build cool contraptions and blow stuff up similar to MythBusters. Just don't expect any real MythBusting from this series, it's not what it's about.

I hope that the writers/researchers are able to provide the winners with enough content and that the team will have their own unique persona's and not be imitations of the original MythBusters.

If you like Reality Elimination Shows, or want to "get to know" the new MythBusters team before they start, watch it, I doubt it's worse than any other show of it's genre.

I can summarize this series with one word: NO!

Its simple: This will not even come close to the original series. Let Mythbusters rest in peace without trying to milk a lot of money out of the brand and destroy it in the process. Start a NEW series instead, with a new name and logo.

I too had high hopes when I first heard about this but even the PREVIEWS and commercials were so annoying my hopes slowly were dashed. Finally when the show started I could see it was never ever ever, even in it's wildest dreams, going to be remotely, fractionally close to the original.

The main problem with this concept is WHY Mythbusters was a hit for such a long time.

t was not the concept looking for casting. It was not the "pitch" of the show to a producer or network that made it a hit.

The reason Mythbusters was a smash hit, successful and an inspiration to so many people was because of the two hosts period. Without that chemistry, without that GENUINE surprise, joy, enthusiasm to what they were trying to do it wouldn't have worked.

This new show starts of right away with one of the worst elements (in my humble opinion) of "reality" shows. The COMPETITION and kicking someone out.

I despise "vote someone off" TV shows with a passion. They come up with this "forced" work together for a goal with an undercurrent of "working together but secretly against each other". You can't separate that no matter how hard you try.

The original Mythbusters was the TOTAL OPPOSITE of that horrible reality show concept. Tthe joy of the original Mythbusters was the camaraderie, the working together to figure stuff out. Yes, yes, I know that Adam and Jamie had "competitions" but they were simply fun and no potential careers were on the line. Neither of them was going to "lose their job" if they lost. (I actually think I heard once that Jamie didn't enjoy the competitions but I may be wrong.) Personally I never liked those competitions.

Another problem with this "search" concept is that all of the cast are TRYING TOO HARD!!!!!! Good grief STOP TRYING SO HARD. It's ANNOYING when some of the cast simply gush and act like morons, doing really really REALLY bad impressions of Adam (or Jamie to some degree). I guarantee the end result of this show will be two "clones" of Adam and Jamie which is a HUGE mistake. I agree they need a new idea.

Adam Savage's silly, childish personality was 100% real based on who he is and it was clear and believable. The behavior of most of THIS cast is as fake and unbelievable as a 3 dollar bill. It reminds of me of little kids shows when the hosts are completely over the top baby talking happy and over the top enthusiastic because the audience is tiny children.

I find the majority of the cast unremarkable and unwatchable for more than a few minutes before I start to gag or have to avert my eyes and cover my ears. Those that don't annoy me are simply unremarkable. They have zero personality or their personality is so fake I don't see it lasting very long before they crack under the pressure.

This show will fail is my prediction. Any resulting "Mythbusters Reboot" will also fail... but I am thinking maybe... this is NOT about finding new Mythbusters hosts but ONLY about another "Survivor" show.

What a shame if the Mythbusters reboot is just a new show about pretending to try and find someone as interesting as the original cast.

Kyle Hill doesn't even know elementary physics. There are so many misconceptions of physics equations and concepts on his nerdist youtube channel. Also, this guy's acting is freaking cringey as hell. This show is going to get canceled. It sucks so bad. The original myth busters had REAL scientists and engineers. This show is just a bunch of communication majors wanna be scientists. Horrible show.
